What size construction dumpster do I need?
Start with the debris type. Heavy debris suits a 10-yard, while bulky remodel and roofing debris usually starts at a 20-yard.
| Job | Size to ask about first | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Bathroom remodel, concrete, rock or dirt | 10-yard | Heavy material reaches the weight limit before the box is full |
| Kitchen remodel, flooring, drywall, carpet | 20-yard | Bulky, lighter debris needs more space |
| Roof tear-off | 20-yard | Shingles are heavy, so watch the included tons |
| Whole-house remodel, demolition, new-build cleanup | 30 or 40-yard, or several swaps | Large volume over several days |

Roofing dumpsters for Yuma tear-offs
Shingles are heavy for their size. A roofing load often reaches its weight limit before it looks full.
How many squares of shingles fit in a roll-off?
It depends on the shingle type and the number of layers, so give the hauler your square count and layers before you book.
The real limit is usually weight, not space. A 20-yard in Yuma typically includes about 3 tons. Two layers weigh more than one, so say how many layers you’re tearing off. That lets the hauler match the size and warn you about overage before the crew starts.
What do roofers want from a dumpster?
Roofers want the box on site before the crew arrives, close to the drop edge, and a fast swap when it fills.
Ask for delivery the day before the tear-off. Then the crew can start in the cool early hours. Ask where the box can sit on a tight lot. Ask the driver to set the dumpster on boards to protect your driveway. Our guide to placing a roll-off on a driveway or job site covers clearance and overhead wires.
Can concrete, dirt and heavy debris go in a construction dumpster?
Usually yes, but heavy debris comes with tighter rules, so confirm with the hauler before you load it.
Concrete, brick, rock and dirt fill a box’s weight limit long before they fill its space. Ask how full a heavy load can be. Ask whether concrete or dirt must go in its own load, without other trash mixed in. Mixed loads can tip a dumpster past its included tons. Read the rules for concrete and heavy debris before you book.
Is construction debris charged a flat rate or by the ton?
Usually both. A flat price typically covers about 3 tons in a 20-yard, then each extra ton typically costs $50–$100.
The landfill weighs every load and prints a scale ticket, which is its weight receipt. Ask for a copy of the landfill scale ticket if you’re billed for overage. Your exact rates are confirmed on the call. In national dumpster reviews, a top complaint is a surprise overage bill that arrives days or weeks after pickup. Get your total in writing before delivery. That includes any trip fee if the driver can’t drop the box. Customers report trip fees of about $195–$200. Here is how overage charges work in Yuma, with every fee listed.
What are the asbestos rules for remodels and demolition in Yuma?
Arizona’s ADEQ requires an asbestos notification 10 working days before any demolition, even when no asbestos is present.
Renovations need the notice too when they disturb regulated asbestos material at or above set amounts. Those amounts are 260 linear feet on pipes, 160 square feet on other parts, or 35 cubic feet if it couldn’t be measured first (ADEQ asbestos NESHAP program; 40 CFR 61.145). Check with ADEQ about who files for your job.
This matters in Yuma’s older neighborhoods. In ZIP 85364, central and west Yuma, 44.8% of housing units were built before 1980 (U.S. Census, ACS 2020–2024). Older materials such as some flooring, ceiling texture and siding can contain asbestos. Have suspect material tested before tear-out. Don’t put suspected asbestos in a roll-off. See what can’t go in a dumpster.
Can I get a dumpster swap when the box is full?
Ask the hauler whether swaps are offered. A swap means the full box leaves and an empty one is dropped.
Swaps keep a crew working on a big job. Ask three things before the job starts. How much notice does a swap need? How is each swap priced? Does each new box include its own tons? Read how delivery, swaps and pickup work.

Where does construction debris go in Yuma?
Roll-off loads go to a landfill or a commercial transfer station. The free county transfer sites take non-commercial loads only.
| Site | Address | Note |
|---|---|---|
| South Yuma County Landfill | 19536 S. Ave 1E, Yuma | Takes large and commercial loads |
| Copper Mountain Landfill | 34853 E. County 12th St, Wellton | Takes large and commercial loads |
| Allied Waste transfer station (Republic Services) | 3040 S. Ave 3½ E, Yuma | Takes commercial loads |
Source: Yuma County Sheriff’s Office release, July 10, 2025. The new South County Transfer Station near Somerton doesn’t take commercial waste, per county reports, so call Yuma County to confirm. Our Yuma dump and landfill guide has hours and phone numbers.
City of Yuma code, Chapter 190, allows roll-offs from private firms for waste other than garbage. Call City of Yuma Public Works at (928) 373-4500 to confirm the current rule. Keep food waste and household garbage out of a construction dumpster.
How do Yuma heat and monsoon storms affect a job-site dumpster?
Plan early-morning deliveries in summer, and cover the load during monsoon season, June 15 to September 30.
Extreme heat sets the schedule from May to October. Yuma averages 118 days a year at 100°F or hotter (NOAA 1991–2020 normals). It averages 25 days a year at 110°F or hotter (National Weather Service). In 2024, the last 110°F day came on October 7. Load in the morning, keep water on site and take shade breaks. Hot asphalt softens, so ask about boards under the steel rails.
Monsoon storms add two problems. Wet drywall, insulation and carpet soak up rain and weigh more, which can push a load into overage. September is the wettest month, with a 0.68-inch normal (NOAA). Storm gusts near 60 mph have hit Yuma County, per Yuma Sun storm coverage. Wind can lift light debris out of an open box. Tarp the load at the end of each day. Don’t place the box in a low spot or across a drainage path.
Commercial dumpster service for businesses and job sites
Businesses can use roll-offs for construction and bulky waste. City code allows private roll-offs for waste other than garbage.
Common commercial jobs include store build-outs, office cleanouts and new-home construction. Yuma County permitted 1,155 new housing units in 2025 (U.S. Census Building Permits Survey). Ask the hauler whether they offer scheduled or repeat service for a contractor with ongoing sites.
Free options rarely fit business waste. The county transfer sites take non-commercial loads only. The City’s household hazardous waste events don’t accept business waste. Jobs on MCAS Yuma or Yuma Proving Ground need driver base access first, so ask before you schedule.

Frequently asked questions
How do I estimate debris from a flat roof removal?
Measure the roof in squares (100 square feet each), then note the layers and material. Give those numbers to the hauler for a size match. Start with the 20-yard dumpster page.
How high can I fill a construction dumpster?
Only to the fill line the hauler gives you. Debris above it can delay pickup. Read how the fill line works.
Do I need a permit to put a dumpster on a Yuma street?
Possibly. It hasn’t been confirmed whether the City’s encroachment permit covers roll-offs, so call City of Yuma Public Works at (928) 373-4500. See placing a dumpster on a Yuma street.
Should I use a dump trailer instead of a dumpster for roofing debris?
A trailer can suit a small job if you can haul and unload it yourself. Compare the options in dumpster vs. dump trailer and junk removal.
Can tires or car batteries go in with job-site debris?
No. Arizona bars waste tires from landfills unless ADEQ approves (A.R.S. 44-1304). Landfills may not knowingly accept lead-acid batteries (A.R.S. 44-1322). See where tires and batteries go instead.
